Sermons on Attributes of God
Exodus 2:11-25 – When Our Strength Is Not Enough
Moses had the right intentions, impressive qualifications, and a desire to help God’s people—but his attempt to deliver Israel in his own strength ended in failure. Forced to flee to Midian, Moses entered a long season of waiting that God would use to prepare him for what was ahead. Exodus 2 reminds us that waiting does not mean wasting and that our responsibility is to faithfully do what God has called us to do while trusting Him with the outcome.…
Exodus 2:1-10 – When God Seems Quiet
In Exodus 2:1–10, God seems strangely absent as Moses’ family faces an impossible situation—but behind the scenes, God is quietly at work. Through a faithful mother, a watchful sister, Pharaoh’s own daughter, and a series of seemingly ordinary circumstances, God preserves and prepares the man who will one day deliver Israel. The story reminds us that reaching the end of our control does not mean we have reached the end of God’s providence. Even when we cannot see what God…
Exodus 1:1-7 – A Promise Still Alive
Generations come and go, circumstances change, and even the most important people eventually pass away, but God’s promises remain. In Exodus 1:1–7, Israel moves from one generation to the next while God quietly fulfills His covenant promises through seemingly ordinary circumstances. This sermon challenges us to interpret our circumstances through God’s promises rather than judging God’s faithfulness by what we can see right now. It also reminds us that we are not responsible for controlling the future, but for faithfully…
Psalm 121 – The God Who Keeps You
Life’s journey includes dangers, uncertainties, and circumstances we cannot control. Psalm 121 teaches us to lift our eyes beyond our problems and look to the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth, for help. God is our Keeper who never sleeps, remains near through both the brightness of day and the darkness of night, and preserves his people through every trial. This does not mean Christians will never suffer, but it does mean that nothing can separate believers from the…
Genesis 50 – The Faith of Joseph
Joseph’s final chapter (Genesis 50) showcases a faith that obeys, trusts, and hopes. He honors his father’s wishes despite inconvenience, forgives his brothers because he trusts God’s providence. “You meant evil… but God meant it for good.” Then he dies with confident hope that God will bring Israel home. The message calls us to choose obedience over convenience, to trust God to work good from real evil, and to anchor our hope in Christ and our true home with him.…
Genesis 41 – From The Prison To The Palace (Part 2)
In this second part of “From the Prison to the Palace,” we see how God’s timing is perfect, even when it feels delayed. Joseph waits two more years in prison before Pharaoh’s dreams create an opportunity for him to rise. Joseph interprets the dreams, gives wise counsel, and is promoted to second in command. But none of this happens by chance. God uses seasons of waiting and hardship to prepare His people for greater purposes. Joseph’s story reminds us that…
Genesis 40 – From The Prison To The Palace (part 1)
In this sermon on Genesis 40, we explore how God’s steadfast love (hesed) was with Joseph even in prison. While imprisoned, Joseph interprets dreams for Pharaoh’s officials, offering both hope and judgment. He models how God’s blessings are meant to be shared—even in tough circumstances. Despite being forgotten by man, Joseph shows us that God’s faithfulness never fails. We are reminded that Jesus is the ultimate embodiment of hesed, offering mercy and love when others forget or fail us. “The…
Genesis 37 – God At Work In The Dark
Genesis 37 kicks off the story of Joseph, a narrative filled with betrayal, hardship, and divine purpose. Though Joseph is betrayed by his own brothers, thrown into a pit, and sold into slavery, we see that God never abandons him. This chapter highlights a dysfunctional family, unjust suffering, and God’s sovereign hand working through it all. Joseph’s story also serves as a powerful foreshadowing of Jesus—loved by the Father, hated by his own, betrayed, and yet ultimately raised up to…
Genesis 38 – The Detour That Led to Jesus
Genesis 38 shows us that even in the messiest, most unexpected parts of life, God is still at work. The story of Judah and Tamar is raw, uncomfortable, and often skipped—but it reminds us that God uses broken people and strange detours to accomplish his purposes. Judah’s rejection, Tamar’s boldness, and the sinful choices of both are not beyond God’s reach. In fact, this bizarre chapter is a key link in the genealogy of Jesus Christ. God works through the…
2 Peter 1:5-8 – A Higher Love
Guest speaker, Sam Taylor, talks about the higher love that we have through Jesus Christ. Sam served as pastor for more than 20 years. Before coming to New England in 2007, he led a team of IMB missionaries helping to plant multiple churches in Eastern Europe. He now serves as the Global Missions Mobilizer for the Baptist Churches of New England (BCNE). Island Pond Baptist Church is an SBC church in Hampstead, NH, just seconds from Derry, NH. We also…
Genesis 27 – A Tricky Family
Have you ever been tricked into thinking something was better than it actually was? In Genesis 27, we see an entire family—Isaac, Rebekah, Esau, and Jacob—all trying to manipulate their way to what they want. But in the end, God’s plan still stands. This passage reminds us that God’s blessings don’t depend on our goodness, and His will cannot be outsmarted. Instead of resisting Him, we’re better off trusting and submitting to what He’s already planned. If God can bless…
Genesis 18-19 – Judgment and Mercy
In this sermon on Genesis 18-19, we explore the tension between God’s righteous judgment and his incredible mercy. Through the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, Pastor Kyle reveals how God’s justice is tempered with grace, giving us hope through the intercession of Christ. Discover how this truth impacts your life today and be encouraged to turn to the one who offers salvation to all who believe! The intercession of Abraham gives us a picture of Jesus’ intercession for us. Sermon…
